View submission: Previewing Upcoming Changes to Blocking
What's going to happen when users block a mod, and use another community to brigade the mod's community?
The mod won't be able to see the call for the brigade since it's not in their community.
What's going to happen with crossposting?
Will blocked users still be allowed to crosspost content from the person who blocked them to another subreddit? Essentially allowing another vector for harassment?

Admins will be able to see it. The mods of the brigaded community flag the comments / posts as "Community Interference" and the admins handle the followup - the way they always should have been doing.
In the past, Community Interference was left to negotiation (or lack thereof) between communities, and because the admins took no action until it escalated to targeted harassment of individual moderators / users / violent threats, it created a cycle.
This breaks the cycle by having the admins intervene earlier in the process.
